Cost of coffee

If I fuel, when I go in to get my receipt, if I want a refill on my ice tea or coffee, I refill. And never pay. Just walk out. I just got 200 gallons of fuel at almost 4 bucks a gallon or more. That's payment enough for 12 ounces of coffee or 32 ounces of tea. If I ever get told by a cashier that I need to pay for it, then I will no longer fuel at that truck stop.

 

as a part of the mega fleet we get $.20-.30 of the cash price for fuel
mom and pop we get the cash price
I guess i will have to suffer thru every 6th cup free

and mom and pop have nasty showers

 

Buy a coffee maker. :dunno:

 

This thread is funny. I guess some dont know that these mega truckstops got their billions from selling FUEL not coffee. Coffee sales are just a drop in the bucket, get real. Simple enough, I thought. I still miss getting my free steak dinner and free coffee every time I fuel up at the full service pumps. Yes, they washed your windows and checked the oil. If you didnt have time to eat, they gave you a coupon for your free steak dinner. Can I get an AMEN...

 

Sapp Brothers is a good example, they are my favorite overall truckstop I especially like the one in SLC. There have been a lot of good points made in this thread, I guess that's what it's all about. I am with you about the long lines bender, that has always been my beef with them, wait in line to get to the pump, wait in line to prepay, wait in line to get the receipt and change, they have recently addressed some of that. All in all I can't honestly expect someone who wasn't around years ago to understand, but IMHO times have not changed for the better in a vast portion of our industry.

 

Pilot only sells fuel to get you to come in and buy the coffee. Hell their tankers even say COFFEE on the back of em.

 

Still don't get it, your 300 gallons gets you 300 pts which is more than the $1.68/168 points needed to get your cup of Coffee
